Customer Service: 800-371-0442 Tech Support: 888-436-0657 Review: Don't Give Up Too Soon! - I originally posted a poor review of this modem because it is advertised as a plug-n-chug replacement for Verizon DSL. I followed the instructions repeatedly a couple of days ago, each time being told "congratulations...you are now connected to the internet" and each time I wasn't. Tried for over an hour before giving up and calling Verizon "tech support". Well, anyone who has called them knows how that turned out. I had every intention of returning it today, but thought I'd try one more time on my own...still couldn't connect. After leaving in a huff to eat lunch, I came back an hour later to find everything running perfectly. So, the moral of the story is: before giving up leave for an hour and make sure it doesn't need more time, even if the set up page tells you you're connected and you're not. Upload and download speeds are no better than the standard modem, but I expected that. I bought it to make my WiFi signal stronger and this little box delivers. WAY stronger signal and much more reliable throughout my building. Review: Decent, but no 5 ghz antenna - I've spent a fair amount of time trying to use this router to stream windows media center recordings to my android tablet, where I use MX Player Pro to play them. It is frustratingly close to working, but I always up up with stuttering due to lack of throughput. On both my tablet and my windows laptop, my internet connection lists a speed of 72 mbps, which should be more than enough to stream the videos. I found an app named network monitor mini which shows the actual connection speed in MX Player Pro. The maxiumum actual download speed I'm obtaining is about 25 mbps. With some more effort, I was able to determine a number of my neighbors also have 2.4 ghz routers, although my signal is the strongest in my house. After poking around on the web, I found some discussions of how router must "queue" up when there are several signals at the same frequency. My best guess is that this is causing the problem. I was also able to use another app named wifi optimizer (polyglotz) to determine that there are no 5 ghz signals at all, including from this router. Looking through the specs, I didn't find much documentation, but after poking around on the web, I determined that this only has a 2.4 ghz antenna. Ultimately, I think this router is fine for most usage, but not for streaming hi def videos in a region with a number of competing 2.4 ghz signals. For large throughput, it seems you are better off looking for a router with 5 ghz capability. ## Features - This modem works only with Verizon DSL and is not Compatible with Verizon FIOS - Three products in one: a full rate ADSL 2/2+ modem, 4-port switch and dual-antenna Wireless N router - Specifically designed for use with Verizon High Speed Internet Service - Rigorously tested to ensure the highest levels of compatibility and performance - Includes high-grade firewall, parental controls and a variety of protections and encryptions ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BLYUNH4 | | Antenna Location | Home | | Antenna Type | Internal | | Best Sellers Rank | #77,594 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) #70 in Modem Router Combos | | Brand | Actiontec | | Built-In Media | Router, Ethernet Cord, Power Adapter | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Phone, Tablet, WiFi-Enabled Devices, Media Streaming Devices, Computer, PC, Mac, Gaming Consoles | | Connectivity Protocol | Wi-Fi | | Connectivity Range | 300 Square Feet | | Connectivity Technology | Wi-Fi | | Control Method | App | | Controller Type | Switch | | Coverage | Up to 300 feet indoors and 500 feet outdoors | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 209 Reviews | | Frequency Band Class | Single-Band | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00789286808219 | | Has Internet Connectivity | Yes | | Has Security Updates | Yes | | Is Modem Compatible | Yes | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 6.75"L x 1.25"W x 7"H | | Item Weight | 0.75 Pounds | | LAN Port Bandwidth | 10 Mbps | | Manufacturer | Actiontec | | Maximum Upstream Data Transfer Rate | 1 Megabits Per Second | | Mfr Part Number | GT784WNV01 | | Model Name | GT784WNV | | Model Number | GT784WNV01 | | Number of Antennas | 2 | | Number of Ports | 4 | | Operating System | Windows XP, Vista, 7 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Contains Internal Modem | | Router Firewall Security Level | High | | Router Network Type | DSL | | Security Protocol | WPA2-PSK | | Smart Home Compatibility | Not Smart Home Compatible | | Special Feature | Contains Internal Modem | | UPC | 012304063964 172302834314 168141652912 789286808219 069060119275 172304353776 804067410235 163120663095 151903579893 755918565997 053786033199 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Warranty Description | 1 year | | Wi-Fi Generation | Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) | | Wireless Communication Standard | 802.11n | | Wireless Compability | 802.11n | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Actiontec - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Phone, Tablet, WiFi-Enabled Devices, Media Streaming Devices, Computer, PC, Mac, Gaming Consoles - **Connectivity Technology:** Wi-Fi - **Frequency Band Class:** Single-Band - **Included Components:** Router, Ethernet Cord, Power Adapter - **Model Name:** GT784WNV - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Home - **Special Feature:** Contains Internal Modem - **Wireless Communication Standard:** 802.11n ## Images ![Actiontec Verizon High Speed Internet DSL Wireless N Modem and Router (GT784WNV) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91L4Mcp4bdL.jpg) ![Actiontec Verizon High Speed Internet DSL Wireless N Modem and Router (GT784WNV) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91-1GiwvCvL.jpg) ![Actiontec Verizon High Speed Internet DSL Wireless N Modem and Router (GT784WNV) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91T1HG45rtL.jpg) ![Actiontec Verizon High Speed Internet DSL Wireless N Modem and Router (GT784WNV) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/912fZPgQlWL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this work with Verizon Fios Quantum?** A: It is not compatible with Verizon FIOS at all, at least that was written on the box I received (although not mentioned anywhere on the description on the site). **Q: is this better and faster than the westell ultra line 3 i have from verizon. and if i buy this one can i hook it directly up with no problems** A: I know it was better than the one I got from Verizon-much faster, and no problem what ever in hooking it up. Buying this was the best thing I did. I plugged it in, and that was it-simple. **Q: Is this modem compatible with window 8.1 devices?** A: Yes. I am using 8 Windows 8.1 devices, and multiple TVs, Roku boxes, Android phones and tablets as well as several DirecTV receivers in wireless and wired situations. It should be compatible with pretty much anything that uses a wired or wireless connection. **Q: Why is the WNV better than the WN ?** A: the v stands for verizon, my research told me that there are some slight internal mods to make it work better with verizon but both will work with verizon as far as i know ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't Give Up Too Soon! *by C***C on May 16, 2015* I originally posted a poor review of this modem because it is advertised as a plug-n-chug replacement for Verizon DSL.

There is a noticeable improvement in speed over the old unit. No problems in setting it up, it was almost plug it in and done. I hope this new unit gives me 10 years of service. *** UPDATE *** I only got about 60 days of service on the actiontec unit before it stopped working. Luckily I still had my old unit which is back working OK so far. I put in a email to Actiontec's support but haven't gotten a resolution from them. After going back and forth with support the Actiontec unit is now functioning. I had to connect through Ethernet cable & reconfigure. I hope that this will not reoccur. *** 2nd UPDATE*** The unit has been functioning OK but I still haven't been able to get port forwarding to work properly and I haven't been able to find any user manual, which I don't think exists. Sometime when I have a lot of time to waste I will try to contact Actiontec's customer support. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8115625-actiontec-verizon-high-speed-internet-dsl-wireless-n-modem-router](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8115625-actiontec-verizon-high-speed-internet-dsl-wireless-n-modem-router) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
